Zinchenko must be up for a move or we wouldn’t be talking about possible clubs in for him! He can easily say I want to stay and that be that..
How often does this happen though? Our players are constantly linked with moves away and rarely ever come out and say that they're staying.
None of us know if he wants out.

Yeah I personally can’t see a big name CB coming inGvardiol and Cucurella and we're set. Probably won't happen
Maybe unpopular but the way the board has treated Zinchenko has been borderline disgraceful.
You've had players come in left, right and center who perform for a single season and almost immediately are given extensions. Meanwhile Zin has continued to keep his head down and perform 90% of the time, and not bitch and moan like some others(Cancelo/Laporte). Disappointing how many blues are willing to toss him to the curb for a player who was liking tweets about joining City while still a Brighton player. As much as Bernardo probably wants to join Barca, can you imagine if he did that?
I'd be gutted to see him go but 100% understand that he wants to feel valued. The guy is on peanuts compared to the rest of the squad. I can't imagine it would be terribly hard to get him locked down IF we wanted it to happen.
When we accepted a fee from wolves for Zin and he wanted to stay and fight for his place was great but from then on he has not been first team players he knows that happy with that maybe now he wants to play every week

Riyad Mahrez is going to look weird as a ginger...I thought he was referring to all those unusual hairstyles.
Next season we will probably have a better chance in getting Gvardiol.Gvardiol and Cucurella and we're set. Probably won't happen

This "he gets us" thing only exists in the heads of some of us fans.No one is sold unless they’re happy to go.
If he gets us that much then he will stay.
These are professional footballers, the only thing they get is what is best for their careers and bank balances.
We've seen plenty of examples of this down the years.
He did before. He told Wolves that he would rather stay at City and fight for his place. In hindsight he made the right decision.
He did maybe he wants to play every game now and Arsenal is a Massive move

I'm hoping that's what is delaying the Ake deal? Chelsea and City talks obviously going on at lot longer than we would imagine so maybe their is some truth in Kounde. Here's hoping.Finding another Centre Back is easier said than done.

Wasn’t there a tweet from Zinchenko wife criticising Pep for Champs final selection?
I accept he has been fairly quiet and professional though
For me if he is going he must’ve asked or indicated that he wants to
Kounde is going to Barcelona and to be honest he will get more game time there.I'm hoping that's what is delaying the Ake deal? Chelsea and City talks obviously going on at lot longer than we would imagine so maybe their is some truth in Kounde. Here's hoping.

I heard he's joining because Eric Garcia needs his boots cleaned.Kounde is going to Barcelona and to be honest he will get more game time there.
Like many always liked Zinchenko, 100% effort and usually puts in a shift. However, like Jesus and Sterling not a first team regular, seems there is a big transition this summer in moving on our second string players. Club must be confident of getting a new lb, hopefully Cucurella otherwise they wouldn't sanction this move.
Why are we selling Zinchenko? It's stupid idea.
He might want to leave

Given the choice I'd prefer him to stay but I'm quite enjoying this transfer window and looking forward to seeing the end results when it, in the words of Jim the **** White 'slams shut'
Good to see you back.
Cucurella is a downgrade compared to zinchenko, imo. Zinchenko has tactical flexibility. Cucurella would be very one dimensional. I am happy we have both. But we should not sacrifice one for anotherLike many always liked Zinchenko, 100% effort and usually puts in a shift.

I doubt that. He would get game time for sure.He might want to leave
